$SOL is still trading inside this post-drop range, but the structure is getting extremely compressed — price is literally coiling into a decision zone. This is not “random sideways”, this is liquidity building before expansion.
If the upper band is taken out with momentum, the move is likely to accelerate into the stacked liquidity above — and it won’t look slow. These kinds of breaks usually trigger fast continuation as stops get hunted.
If the lower band breaks instead, the downside gap underneath becomes the main target again, and sellers regain full control of the structure.
This is the part of the chart where most people get chopped… and smart money waits for the breakout.
